I do like the fact that J.Finley uses the word 'we' and 'team'.......he didn't used to. All good things come to those who wait. He may drop them, but they will come to him.............. Timothy 11:2:12

JMF says the problem is "out of my hands." Fittingly enough, a lot of balls thrown directly to him have ended up out of his hands as well. That is a problem that is not beyond his grasp, but a solution would start with him ceasing to make excuses for his bad plays.

I haven't been one of the usual Finley bashers on here but I'm just about fed up with him talking stupid. Excuses, excuses, excuses. He basically says, I know I've dropped passes but it's hard to make a catch when Rodgers throws it hard. How ridiculous. He also basically said if he was split out instead of traditional that he wouldn't drop passes.

Just shut up and play man. I wish the Packers would've traded Finley for Jared Cook straight up. It's getting close to the time where they need to let this guy go and hope Quarless, Williams, and Crabtree can step up. How many times are you gonna comment about the face of the franchise (Rodgers) before he just never throws you the ball anymore.

It's a complex problem. Not just Finley's fault. The offense is built on getting the ball to the WR. Finley jas underachieved. Quarless went down. Crabtree is used primarily to block, which is a coaching issue. DJ Williams and Ryan Taylor have had few opportunities. I would give Taylor more targets, as he did quite well in pre-season.

I thought DJ Williams (having won the Mackey award his senior year) was going to be much more a part of the O by this time. He dropped an easy one recently to. As a fantasy football player, I don't see many TE's doing well, besides Gronk. Gonzo has been steady for many years, and even Gates catches are way down, and he's healthy.Maybe the linebackers have gotten lighter and faster?

Finley is probably my LEAST FAVORITE Packer of all time (tied with Jim McMahon) ... all he does is whine and cry and make excuses ... STF UP, already ... just do your job and catch the ball ... quit being such a big baby ... whatta a wuss!!

You're wrong. I don't hate him at all. I just don't think he's ever going to live up to his potential. I think he's emotionally fragile and immature. He needs to man up. Just because he's criticized doesn't mean he's hated. That's just silly.

I've resigned myself to the fact Fumblefingers Finley will always be a classic underachiever. At this point I'd just be happy if he quit doing his rooster celebration - or whatever that idiotic looking move is - when he occasionally makes a catch. He acts like he's a bird preening and prancing, trying to attract a mate.

Finley is Finley. Packer fans want all their players to be good, little and quiet little boys. Finley is young, opinionated and says whatever is on his mind. However, Finley is an asset who's been left out of the gameplan. Yes, he's had issues with drops, but fans with memories know what he's capable of. In Finley's defense, he has not been targeted enough to work out of the slump. Other receivers have had similiar slumps, but Finley will never get the benefit of the doubt because of his mouth. Fans should also consider that the media will make the most out of Finley's faux pases. But his mouth is not the issue, his talent is. That kind of talent must be nurtured.

Packer fans want the all the players to be honorable MEN. They want the players to earn their huge paychecks. It's we FANS who ultimately pay their salaries, so we do expect them to produce on the field and NOT act like narcissistic spoiled brats. If Finley catches the ball, more balls will come his way. His mouth IS an issue. Any player who screws up on the field and keeps running his mouth will always be disliked.

Not targeted enough? I think they have specifically avoided throwing the ball to him more than twice in a row now since he has dropped so many passes. I seem to remember two instances in the Indy game where he was thrown to on 3rd and short and he was wide open and the pass sailed through his hands. Would that inspire any confidence to you as a head coach? The guys certainly seems to be more interested in talking about how talented he is instead of catching the easy passes thrown his way on a regular basis.
